LAKEWOOD, Colo. -- The shelves at Walk In Auction are full.

Owner Kim Everitt said the economy has been good for the eBay drop-off center.

Everitt said people are bringing in clothes, electronics, furniture, and Halloween costumes. Everitt said they are all items that have the potential of turning a buck online.

"A lot of people have been affected by the foreclosures therefore they are moving. People need to sell stuff or they are trying to sell stuff to raise money for their mortgages," Everitt said. "Just people needing extra cash."

eBay said it was hard to tell if the economy was having a direct impact in online traffic but the company said a recent survey showed there are more people in the market for used items.

According to a recent Harris interactive survey for eBay, 75 percent of Americans are currently buying used goods to save money, and more than half (54 percent) of pre-owned shoppers are turning to online sites such as eBay to purchase these items.

But, while there may be something to posting used items online and making money, there are still several people who still don't buy into it.

Skip Scott, a truck driver for Waste Management, said there are plenty of furniture items, clothes and electronics in the city's dumpsters.

"You'd be surprised what you can find in these Dumpsters," said Scott.

So, despite the old adage "one man's trash is another man's treasure," many told us they just weren't desperate enough to post or shop online.
